Good Points: Juat brilliant fun to drive. I have covered 12500 miles in the year I have had it and loved all of them.. Although the trip to Le Mans was a bit noisy as 4250 rpm is the French speed limit!
Bad Points: Tyres are expensive especialy if you swing it around as much as me! Servicing the thing is a nightmare cost wise but then depreciation is very low, so swings and roundabouts!
General comments: I will buy a Lotus Elise Standard again as my next car as it's so good! I have people coming up to me and asking about the car while I am sitting in traffic! I drive the car nearly every day and it feels great whenever you get in it, performance is just the best thing it's a bit noisy as I have had a sport exhaust fitted for realy long journeys, but I drive 2 hours to London every week and it's fine. Back roads are where it's just awesome overtaking is great!! Cars get out of your way as you slice through traffic and even powerful German beasts are neutered as you run rings round them.. The Elise has the ability to allow you show off with opposite lock and stearing on the loud pedal, it just leaves them haning on to under steer and wondering why they do not have the balance!

The best way we ever spent our savings was to buy our Lotus Elise Standard. A great car which has been a thrill to drive and always draws comment. Ours is a standard S2 and I have driven it in all weathers for 12,500 miles. A wonderful experience. If you can ever own or drive one jump at the chance.

Brilliant car. Previously owned an EVO VI. Would easily show the EVO VI home on typical London roads.
Makes you feel special everytime you drive it to the extent that it is disappointing to drive other cars now.
Not the fastest car in the world, but steering and handling make up for power. :-).
Not had any mechanical problems yet

Easily the best & worst thing I've ever spent money on. When a car is this unreliable and has such high maintenance
costs yet you still own it after 3 years it must be fun. Every car I've driven since feels nasty.
Lotus should have charged £5K more for it and built it properly
in the first place.
